Win98SE specs: It wouldn't be a fun configuration - very draggy and thrashy - but before my Compaq Presario 9234 failed (built-in controller failure), I could do just that on it - 120 MHz Pentium, 8GB HD, 40MB RAM. Browser was the IE that shipped with it; email was Forté Agent.

My old laptop is a P133 and has a *2* gig HD. and ran netscape/Mozilla acceptably. It did have 80 meg of RAM though.

I am *told* that you can actually get a usable if slow system running 98 on a 486!! I need to look up the "official" Win98 specs.

But I was hoping for someone who'd worked with even older gear. I may try it on the 486DX2/66 with 64 meg of RAM that I will be retiring one of these days.

Alas, the WinXOP setup is in fact wanting the same "briefcase" (or set of directories) to synch both places.
